  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Tom, I do get a lot of sparks, but very little if any smoke. I normally use my half dull 50 grit belts to do the initial shaping of my liners. I run my grinder at about 40% power.
